When does this stop? US Border Guard shoots into Mexico, kills 14 year old

[DFW]

Supposedly the kid was throwing rocks, albeit from his side of the border.

Presumably his throwing arm did not have the force to demolish buildings from across the border fence and bridge?
The US Border guy was shooting into a crowd ON THE MEXICAN SIDE?

So now, when some enraged family member of the kid who was killed gets himself a cheap sniper rifle, takes a few shots
at our border patrol guys from his side of the border, the outcry from our side will be one of righteous outrage, right?

Who trains these guys, the Minutemen? As a Texan, I am so disgusted, I can't find the words.

A dead kid. Words cannot express how much I fucking hate conservatives.

3. Wanna bet he has been placed on "administrative leave with pay?"

I'd love to know who the guy is. For all I know, some guy wanting to look tough, and didn't
put the safety on his gun before pointing it. Which would mean the jerk had no business being
issued a gun in the first place. I can't wait to hear how the Border Patrol will spin this one.

6. he shot and killed a child who was throwing rocks

There truly is NO way to spin that, unless we have become the IDF.

4. Well we've been bombing for years now in Pakistan so I guess

we just finally applied the same logic to all border 'conflicts' - if there isn't any, by all means make one! Seems no one can stop us or cares to try so why would America stop? As long as the Pentagon can self regulate itself, same as ICE and now these idiot Minutemen...then it will always be this way. Crime happens until someone stops it. Same could be applied to BP or bailing out our corporate masters imo.

We have moved away from regulating business and the law.

So yes, there are too many asshats who would be proud...
